The boxer expressed his hunger for greater success and vowed to work even harder to reach his goal.
“Time is of the essence, time is limited. So, I just want to put in more work.
“In 2024, when I look back, I believe I could have done more and I have another chance in 2025 to do more.
“I’m going to make sure that I take every opportunity that comes my way,” he said
He stated that the opportunity to become a three-time world heavyweight champion is still alive.
He mentioned that he should have won his previous match against Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium on September 23, 2024, but ultimately did not.
“I’m going to go again. Ups and downs, they happen.
“To some people it is always up. My life is up and down, so I got to get used to the turbulent times and keep riding the wave.
“I can’t stop now, I have to keep going until I reach my destination.”
Joshua said he felt good energy during his visit to President Tinubu.
“I got to meet His Excellency. They did an amazing job at hosting me and my family today.
“I get to see how the country is organised and run, and have big plans for the future,” he said.
